Karlie- Mum and dad are near the lake so they are safe. One of mum's friends lost their house in the fire near spotlight.
My god so much devestation. Its so terrible.
Most of my friend's and old neighbours where on stand by to leave. It had alot to do with wind direction. The smoke got that thick they had to leave later on anyway.
Mum looks after the motel where all the fire fighters and homeless are staying, and will be giving Jakes and Tara's old clothes and toys to them. Mum know's of one family which had no insurance, so I said to offer to them first.
It was only yesterday we where all up at spotlight getting Jakes party balloons, and an hour later the fire was close by the store. Hmmm.
Glad to hear you family lives away from there jen.
I will catch you all later. Its been a pritty full on day.
I too am glad to hear that you are all ok. These fires are just devastating, it's hard to believe just how bad. We drove home from Melbourne yest and got turned around twice because of the fires. The heat and wind was unbelieveable - it felt like a furnace outside, but we had no idea just how bad they were until we got home and turned the news on.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ZANE AND JAKE!
I hope you both had a lovely day
Thank you for all the birthday wishes. Catherine had a lovely day and has been spoilt rotten. My parents are staying with us for a couple more days and are loving spending so much time with her. I just can't believe my little girl is one already. i also got a little teary on the day remembering what was going on exactly one year ago.
karlie - I just found you on facebook.
Sonya - the cake sounds great! I would love to see some pics too.
prama - poor Poopy. I hope the teeth stop giving him grief soon. I was loving the hylands teething tablets too but we have run out and I can't find them here. I must remember to pick some up when we visit Perth in a couple of weeks. Jen, I tried one too to see what they would do and I can't say I noticed much either!
kato - wow, I am impressed at baxter doing what you tell him to. Catherine deliberately does what she knows she is not supposed to do and is sooo naughty all the time! She won't eat her food, but she wants to eat mine off my plate (when it is the same thing anyway) and then she will grab some and crawl across the room with it, smearing it all over the floor! Sigh, she makes such a mess!
bronzdbebe - DD loves raggs. Even if I sam just changing channels and she sees raggs for 2 seconds, she is completely mesmerised!
Hi to everyone else, I hope you and your bubs are all healthy and happy xx
Glad to hear all you VIC ladies are safe - only just switched the tellie on and saw - unbelievable - our thoughts are with you all - hope the temp comes down and brings some relief soon!!!
Prama - glad to hear that poopy is feeling better cutting teeth must be soo painful for the little buggers but those hyland tablets sound like a god send - i find the brauers teething relief helps with baxter...
i got a fright today, baxter has been really grouchy for the weekend and sleep the last couple of nights was almost nill - looked in his giggling mouth this arvo (when he was feeling better) and saw 2 back molars had cut threw on at the top, 1 on either side..!?!? talk about cross cutting..! now it is obvious why he was so cranky (makes you feel a bit bad when you don't realise thats going on..)
sue - i am dreading having to be without DS for just a couple of days when i go back for some work in april... big hugs make the most of some you time
hope everyone had a good weekend, sorry for 'me' post...
i found that baxter loves sesame street - especially oscar the grouch! i usually flick it on for 15 mins or so in the morning if he is getting a bit antsy...that and he loves sitting in the dogs kennel gave it a good scrub today..
Very "me" first post for the day....I'll be back laterAnd will do personals then.
Zane having his 12 month needles this morning so wish me luck!!! Adam (DH) away for 2 weeks for work and my parents have just left aswell, aww little sad. I'm trying very hard to "build a bridge" I just hate the first day of being left alone... such a wuss!!
Just quickly soooo glad to hear everyone in VIC is safe, just devastating, so awful really there are no words to describe the loss...of everything, Very selfish I know....I'm just glad "our girls" are safe!!
I'll post pics of Zane's birthday/party/cake on FB as soon as I can hopefully later today, I have a locked profile so send me you FB names and I'll add you as a friend
Prama - thanks for the link for the Hylands tablets, will try to get some online.
Sonya - It is pretty difficult the first day of being home alone, isn't it? After that you just settle in and get on with it. I have the last day of being home alone with bub as DP has been away since Friday (only a few days, so can't complain, really...). Spending more time on BB helps for me (I am such a recluse (sp?))! Good luck with Zane's needles, we wait until after his birthday party, so next week will be the week for us... I just hate taking him in for his needles.. Jasper loves Raggs too, but I don't think it is on prime anymore. He also likes the Tellytubbies and 'Bottle top Bill'.
Kato - yay on Baxter cutting his molars!!!
We are getting quite a bit of smoke overhere now the wind has turned south. Just devastating watching the news about the bushfires.... whole streets wiped out... not knowing whether your family members made it or not... Just feeling so sad for those people....
